GARDINER, Me-, Jan. 27.
James Carville of Litchfeld, Me-, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by State Detec-
tive Simpson, assisted by City Marshal Nor
ton, on warrant charging him with incest,
his ten-year-old daughter being the victim
The sworn atfidavits Of his youngest daugh-
ter, Martha Carville, and his oldest married
daughter, Mrs. Harriet Rich, were obtained
by Detective Simpson. The charges therein
contained are too horrible to relate in detail.
The girl is now living in Saco with her
brother and is under the care of physician.
She says she was forced TO leave her home
on account of her fathers crimes. He beat
her with an OK goad and hoe until she was
forced TO yield to his unlawful acts, and also
threatened to shoot her if she made his con-
duct known. Mrs. Rich, her married sister,
at present residing in Haverhiil, Mass, says
that her father attempted to commit similar
crimes upon her when l5 years old and that
sine was obliged to leave home to escape the
horrible fate Of her unfortunate sister.
Carville was brought to Gardiner and ar
ragnea before Judge Larrabee today. He
made a general denial waived examination
and was put under $1,000 bonds. Failing to
obtain sureties, he was committed to Jail.

A WHOLE TOWN FLOODED.
A Remarkable Ice Blockade in the
Susquehanna.
PoR1 DEPOSIT, Md Jar

PoRI DEPOSIT, Md Jan. 81.
The ice in the Susquehanna river Dorth of
here began breaking up at 2.30 yesterday af-
ternoon, piling up in such manner that the
water was forced back upon the town in
frightful manner In 80 minutes the water
had obtained depth of from five to six feet
in the main strest of the town, running with
swift current and earring with it ice, fence,
lumber and debris. All the residences on
the lower side of this street, with few excep-
tions, were flooded. At intervals during last
night the water rose and fell, varying from
three to six feet. At all hours boats could
be seen rowing up and down the street NOV
ing residents as the water invaded their
houses. No possible conception can be
formed of the loss and destruction by the
food. Much property was damaged and
many houses were partially or entirely
wrecked. At o'clock this morning the
water began to rise again and continued to
do 90 all this morning.

A fatal mistake. At the time DIR. Vance,
Of Cleveland. performed the operation on
the lady for the removal of a cancer of the
stomach he found when too late that the
poor woman had no cancer to be removed.
The disease was indigestion. and if she had
taken the Shaker Extract Of Roots tSiegels

stomach, which made the doctors think she
had cancer, would have been removed. Dis

sia in the worst form for five years, and
that nothing gave any relief until she used
